There is no greater bond than the one between a person and the fictional character they’ve written 50k+ words about

So I kind of... went insane and came up with the basics for a Darnassian writing system. This is strictly modern Darnassian -- this is not what was used during the Empire, for example. It wasn't Darnassian at that time, but Kalassian, which had a very different, fully logographic writing system. But I digress......

I'm leaning heavily on Korean's system for this one, and I'm not a linguist, but I'm happy with it and will likely come back to flesh it out even more in the future. (I also may very well have screwed something up with the IPA transcriptions, but WHAT MATTERS IS I GOT THE GENERAL IDEA DOWN.)

If anyone wants to use this in art or just for fun little things, go right ahead, just credit me ofc ^ ^

What counts as a full syllable can be fudged a little bit, as I did with "falore" and "Cathala". It could also be "Fah-lor-ay" and "Kath-awl-ah" but... when it's iffy like that, it comes down to the writer. Just go with the vibes, man.

And you may notice that G (as in "green") and J (as in "jungle") are missing...

I decided modern Darnassian doesn't have a G sound because I only counted three total instances in the fan dictionary and thought it would be a little more fun to just outright exclude it. And I kicked out J, also for fun. Where it exists in Darnassian words, it's pronounced as a "Y" sound. So yes it's "Yarod Shadowsong" now. Doesn't make him sound any less stupid

In loanword situations, G is usually replaced with K, and J is usually approximated with Y. "Naga" does indeed become "naka". "Naga" itself may have originated from an older version of Darnassian or even Kalassian, where a G sound was still present, or maybe it came from somewhere else. In any case, that's probably the biggest thing affected.

Also note that the English "R" is absent, instead replaced with the voiced alveolar tap (or trill depending on the speaker and word).

Also also, as I hinted, this is not all the language's characters. There are syllabograms for common consonant-vowel combinations (LA, DO, DA, etc.), some for entire syllables, and there are also logograms which have stuck around since Kalassian, or even before that. "Kaldorei" is one of those extremely old words with its own symbol, which sorta doesn't even visually fit with all the other characters.
